243 Valve/Seat Sizing Question
I have a couple of questions I tried to search out the answer to but didnt find. I am going to swap out some valves in my 243's and I know I am going to use the 2.02 Intake Sizing and I know that will work with the factory seat, But then I was going to use the 1.6'' Exhaust....and I cant find info to say whether the factory seat will accomodate this or not. I was simply planning on SS Valves, but I will consider other oprtions, price dependant.
Also, What are my valve options for these two sizes. I saw Rev Stainless offered at LPE for a fair price of $100 a set of each, but what else is out there? (links would be nice and appreciated, Thx)

I got a set of hollow 2.165" LS3 intake valves and solid 1.59" exhaust valves for less than $200 shipped from Erik @ HKE. If you got those, you can turn then down to 2.02" and have a nice ~80g intake valve.
I'll probably be doing similar with mine, but 2.08" diameter and a steeper seat.

That sounds like too much work....Id rather just buy the proper sized valve for the application. I know I dont want to change the seats, because at that oint it would be cheaper to just buy a set of heads done after the labor.
